I decided to do an entry to help out these guys at KKG.  Gamers for Good.  I may do one more before its over, they're accepting entries through July 20th.

WIP - Xenogears Lahan House.  Painting Practice.

Finally an update!  Goal is to get some real work done over the next 6 months and to follow a schedule and meet some of my personal deadlines.  Here's a tileable texture to start off.

The last of the 3 texture swatches I wanted to finish.  From bottom to the top, my iterations of it.  I really wanted to push this texture as far as I could.

Another 512 x 512 texture.  I was doing a sand/rock study using a real life reference this time.  So it looks like what I need to do is have a real life reference + style reference, so that I can get the hand-painted look I want without copying what I'm seeing.

512x512 tileable texture project.
Goal is to make 3 tile-able textures and update as I receive critique.  Here is texture #1.

Hey,
I have a new piece done based on some prop concepts from Torchlight.  I focused on expressing the lighting information this time, since my last piece was very flat.  I used a 1024x1024 diffuse and one smoothing group on the model so that the texture would do all the work.

I'm planning on doing some texture swatches so that I can better develop my texture painting, since I realize that my materials don't read separately from each other very well.  I think I succeeded with the lighting information on the different planes this time around, when compared to my last piece.
